turn on the light

I think it helps to have a big picture of God.  It's not just that He is big or that He is powerful...He is the biggest and He is the most powerful.  If we could see with spiritual eyes I believe we would be amazed at the amazing presence of our Lord.  We see with natural eyes and we grope for God as if our eyes are closed in a brightly lit room and we are searching for a light switch on the wall.  We try to find the switch from memory and we feel our way to the wall and then run our hands around until we feel the switchplate.  With opened eyes the switch is immediately apparent.  The light of our natural lives comes from a natural source, the sun.  We have a time-share relationship with this light source and only have access to it for part of the day.  But there is a light source that is supernatural.  It fits the aspect of our lives that is spiritual, because part of our identity is also supernatural.  When we walk in the glow of that light we do not stumble spiritually, just as natural light helps us find our way naturally.  Sometimes we grope our way through our day because, although we see perfectly in a natural sense, we have forgotten to turn on the switch to the Heavenly light.  It may be that we find that switch best when we close our eyes and set our minds on the very big and very present God who is right here...all around us.

 

Luke 11:³⁵ Therefore take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness. ³⁶ If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, the whole body will be full of light, as when the bright shining of a lamp gives you light."
